Abstract: | Work center control rules, defined as a combination of job dispatch rules and short-term work center capacity adjustments, are analyzed using queueing theory. Promising rules are evaluated with a job shop simulation model. Simulations comparing work center control rules to the critical ratio rule for job dispatching indicate that work center control can increase performance to customer due date while simultaneously reducing average work in process inventory. The work center control rules are easily implemented by shops currently using input/output control and daily dispatch lists. |
